If you can actually seal it in plastic, you could
seal some dessicant (silica, or whatever you can find) in there with
it to keep the humidity to a minimum. Certainly some heavy, viscous (not prone
to flow) grease on the machined surfaces will help as well.

Subject: Block Storage
I now have the block I plan
to eventually build for my car, but it'll be a long way off from now (daughter
in college). I'm interested in your opinions on long term block
storage. My initial plan is to lightly grease the cylinders, bearing
surfaces, etc... and then seal it in heavy plastic. Some say this may
trap moisture, but I think it'll help keep it out. It will be stored in
my climatically UNcontrolled garage in Wisconsin - which includes some heat and humidity in the summers and sub zero
temps in the winters. It's just the plain block - which is painted
and looks great at the moment. Thanks in advance for your
input.
